An Afternoon with Laurent-Perrier

Whether the switch up is as modest as a trying out a completely new cuisine or as daring as going to a costume party alone, the best accompaniment for any mould breaking moment is Laurent-Perrier Champagne.

Humans are creatures of habit. Our social settings tend to replicate themselves and we get cosy with the same people, in the same haunts, holding the same drink. Ritual and comfort are important, but occasionally the weekend calls for something a little different.

Whether the switch up is as modest as trying out a completely new cuisine or as daring as going to a costume party alone, the best accompaniment for any mould breaking moment is Laurent-Perrier Champagne. It is a get-together staple and a celebratory must, and will take any event from ordinary to extraordinary.

How are we so sure? Well, it’s in the history. The House of Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot. After Pierlot’s death, he left the company to his loyal cellar master Eugene Laurent who ran it with his wife Mathilde Perrier until his passing. Following his passing, Mathilde combined their surnames and the company took its now famous namesake, Laurent-Perrier. Mathilde’s daughter, Eugénie Hortense Laurent, then went on to sell the House to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939.

During the 1940s, Mary’s son Bernard de Nonancourt – who had served as a member of the French Resistance, leading a charge that broke into Hitler's own private wine cellar in Bavaria – began his own love affair with winemaking. He was an independent, creative and audacious man who loved bringing people together. Bernard spent every waking hour learning the intricate facets of the craft and by 1948 was allotted Chief Executive of the House. He prided himself on establishing privileged and genuine relationships with grape growers in France.

Now Laurent-Perrier boasts a spot on the shelves in 160 countries. But perhaps even more impressive is it’s unwavering commitment to maintaining tradition and promoting community.

So, how should you enjoy it?

The perfect setting for Laurent-Perrier Champagne?

Any occasion where a medium to large group of people are getting together. Laurent-Perrier’s desire is to colour any social event and heighten the experience of connectivity.

Best enjoyed indoor or outdoor?

Even though Laurent-Perrier is poured in some of the most beautiful venues in the world it is champagne to enjoy amongst nature, if such a setting suits the event.

Ideal style?

The Cuvée Rosé is an ideal beverage for any occasion. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir to achieve the perfect fragrance, as opposed to just the perfect colour. It is a unique Champagne that can be paired with any kind of meal from the savoury to the sweet.

The taste of this style?

Only the best quality Pinot Noir grapes from the Montage de Reims region in Champagne are selected to create Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé, which guarantees a unique and consistent style.

The Cuvée Rosé offers intense notes of berry, inclusing strawberry, red currant, dark cherry and raspberry. Being a Brut with a low sugar dosage, the Cuvée Rosé is well balanced and easy to enjoy from entrée to dessert.

Ideal food pairings for Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé?s

Ideal food parings for the Cuvée Rosé are seafood platters, terrines and cheese boards in the realm of savoury, and fruit tarts in the realm of the sweet. The Cuvée Rosé also pairs seamlessly with light Asian and Southern Indian cuisine.

How does the Cuvée Rosé enhance the flavours?

The freshness and purity of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé does not mask any aromas. There is a common misconception that rosé Champagnes are all sweet wines but this is definitely not the case for the Cuvée Rosé.

Ideal glass to drink Laurent-Perrier Champagne from?

The tulip glass. It may not be as glamourous as the coupe or as stylish as the flute, but the tulip allows the wine to develop its aromatic pallet over the course of a meal and gently reveal it’s notes one by one.

Any tricks to correctly opening a bottle of Laurent-Perrier?

Pay attention to placing your thumb on the wire cage whilst untwisting the cap. Get a good grip and gently twist aiming to hear a “soft-pop”.
